The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Kola Oluwawole, has given the assurance that members of the House will work as a team and will not pick quarrel with the executive arm of government in the name of politics.
These twin problems, according to him, were responsible for the tension that marked the term of the last Assembly when the group of 19 All Progressives Congress’ lawmakers and the executive had a very frosty relationship.
In a statement issued by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Speaker, Stephen Gbadamosi, the speaker said while featuring on a television programme in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday.
“Ekiti people voted for us on April 11, this year in expectation of new things. By the grace of God, we, the 26 lawmakers, have resolved to do our jobs well. We will not cheat the people; we will not cheat Fayose.
“We won’t wage war against Ekiti State. We won’t disappoint you. See what happened recently: Our governor was voted for and all stakeholders saw that he was voted for, but some people said they wanted to sack him, against the wish of the people. They waged war against the state. We won’t do that to the people of Ekiti,” Oluwawole said.
The speaker said that the House being an all- Peoples Democratic Party affair was an indication that the people of the state had unwavering belief in the party and its candidates, adding that it was a plus for the state as the members would all galvanise their energies towards making the robust programmes of the Ayo Fayose-led government bring gains of democracy to them
